Chapter 324: Do you want money or people this time?
Chu He sobbed silently, her tears soaking the fabric of his chest.
Compared to hysteria, silent silence is often more lethal.
Silence is louder than words, as if a cold knife was silently and fiercely cutting through Xiao Cheng's heart.
His heart was broken.
After an unknown amount of time, the woman was tired of crying and fell asleep quietly in his arms.
Xiao Cheng's arm was numb and he had completely forgotten that he was injured.
The pain of the wound was not as great as his heart. He gritted his teeth and slowly moved his body.
The slight shaking made the woman frown tightly, as if she was very uneasy even in her sleep.
The next second, he carefully picked the person up and put him on the bed.
He gently adjusted her position to a more comfortable one, and then just looked at her quietly.
The moonlight from outside the window shone on her pale face, making her look so fragile and helpless.
At this moment, looking at the woman's red and swollen eyes from crying, it seemed as if he saw the girl who had been bullied by him more than ten years ago.
A sour feeling welled up in Xiao Cheng's heart.
Back then, Chu He actually thought he was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
Perhaps he did not meet her that night after returning home, and did not take her. Perhaps this lost memory will never be awakened in this life.
It will not put her in a dilemma, nor will it let her suffer again.
He smiled bitterly and wiped his face with his hand, feeling more annoyed than ever before.
How should he make up for all the regrets and mistakes of the past, and how should he love her to offset the self-blame and guilt in her heart.
Xiao Cheng stood up, put his hand into the quilt, and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, feeling the little seed that was growing and belonged to both of them.
The warm touch on his hand made his eyes feel sore again.
He tucked in the quilt carefully and kissed the woman on the forehead.
Xiao Cheng walked to the balcony and suddenly felt that winter had really come.
The drizzle mixed with snowflakes hit his face as sharp as a knife, just like the chilling pain in his heart.
The lighter opened and closed, making a crisp metallic sound.
He actually doesn't have much of an addiction to cigarettes. He only smokes when he's in a bad mood or thinking about problems, and he never smokes because he feels helpless.
He smoked several cigarettes in a row, and the taste in his mouth became more and more bitter. When he finished the last cigarette, the cigarette box was empty and his eyes were red.
Qiao Family Mansion, in the study.
Qiao Yisi just hung up the phone with Xiao Cheng.
He leaned back in the leather swivel chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers from time to time. After careful consideration, he personally called the people below to explain what Xiao Cheng had assigned to him.
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and glanced at Qiao Fei who was sitting opposite him with some impatience.
"Why don't you leave?"
After he finished speaking, Qiao Yisi didn't hear any response from Qiao Fei. He shook his head and looked through the documents in his hand.
Without even looking up, he continued to ask, "Tell me, do you want money or people this time?"
Hearing Qiao Yisi's question, Qiao Fei immediately became alert and leaned over the table.
"Brother, was it Xiao Cheng who called you just now?"
Qiao Yisi knew his sister too well and could hear the excitement in Qiao Fei's words.
The more difficult someone like Xiao Cheng is to deal with, the more she will keep him in suspense, and she will find ways to get him.
He didn't even raise his head, but just half-lifted his eyelids, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Fei with a slightly displeased tone.
"I don't care how you play around, but Xiao Cheng isn't one of those men you can play with just by spending money. I advise you to put aside your devious thoughts and stop targeting him."
